This week’s assignment in COM597 was to create wireframes for the homepage and first tier landing page of an existing website. I chose to create wireframes for http://legis.delaware.gov, the Delaware Legislature’s website.
The Delaware Legislature’s website is packed with information that is presented in an overwhelming and unorganized fashion. The main goal of my wireframes was to create a simpler version of the website that offered easier navigation through the use of subnavigation buttons. I also tried to make the website more visually appealing. The picture on the left is the Delaware Legislature’s homepage and the picture on the right is the first tier landing page for general information about the Legislature.
On a final note, I found the following website a great resource when creating my wireframes: http://randaclay.com/design/new-web-site-start-with-a-wireframe/.
